Martí­n Sastre(b. Montevideo, Uruguay, 1976. Lives and works in Madrid).

The promotional video for the Martí­n Sastre Foundation for Super-Poor Latin American artists features ironic and humorous commentary on the global art circuits established since the ’90s in which the inclusion of Latin American artists became a possibility in the mainstream and hegemonic art world. "Adopt a Latin American Artist" is the slogan of this foundation which offers an international program of sponsorship for artists from the periphery who normally do not have the economic means of access to international circuits. The Foundation is not unlike international charities that propose the long-distance adoption of a child in third world for a modest price a year. However, it highlights a set of values regarding status and fame which have become the local currency of the contemporary art world.
